Sculptures on the Cliffs

Hermanus is best known for its phenomenal land-based whale watching from the meandering 12km Cliff Path hugging the scenic coastline of Walker Bay, however the Cliff Path is also home to the magnificent annual Sculptures on the Cliffs exhibition which is one of the highlights of the Fynarts Festival in Hermanus. You can find sculptures all along the Cliff Path and a good place to start is Gearings point, which is one of the main locations, right on the doorstep of 301 Hermanus Sea View Apartment. Gearings point is also one of the best locations for whale watching in Hermanus and the Fynarts Festival takes place at the start of the official whale season in Hermanus.

Hermanus & Mountain Biking

In recent years Hermanus has become something of a mountain biking mecca, with trails springing up on the nearby hills and valleys. It’s becoming one of the preferred venues for mountain bike enthusiasts. One of the most recent new races was held during the Hermanus Kalfiefees at Wildekrans wine estate, near Bot River. Aimed at enthusiasts, the race presented a not-too-challenging 35 km track, with magnificent scenery and loads of fun.

Cape Epic & Other Accommodation

301 Seaview Apartment offers ideal accommodation for Epic participants looking for luxury accommodation during the event, or for training before the event.

Bikes can be stored in the secure, underground garage, arrangements can be made to wash the bikes or to store equipment.

The Southern Right Whales usually arrive during early Spring and although it’s not possible to to provide an exact start and end-date, it is generally accepted that the Hermanus whale season lasts from June to November every year. It is however important to note that sightings and numbers may vary quite significantly from year to year.

Is this the best time to visit Hermanus?

Although Hermanus may be best known for its Whales, it is definitely not the only reason to visit Hermanus. With various sporting-, art- and cultural events during the year, organic markets, unspoilt nature, lazy summers, local wine and cuisine, Hermanus has become a year-round destination.

Land-based or boat-based Whale Watching?

Although Hermanus is known as the best land-based whale watching spot in the world, boat-based whale watching has become a huge industry. Only a few operators are allowed to offer boat-based whale watching charters and are guided by strict rules, that will leave the whales undisturbed.

Depending on your preference and available time, both experiences will leave a lasting impression.

What to expect from the whales?

Breaching (jumping out of the sea)

Sailing (keeping its tail out of the sea for a long period)

Lob-tailing (slapping its fins hard and fast on the surface of the sea)
